Underground...an interesting explore

One of the things we all agreed upon was touring the underground wonders that exist in Orvieto.

Orvieto, a city suspended almost by magic between heaven and earth, has revealed another of those aspects that make it unique and extraordinary: a labyrinth of grottoes is hidden in the silent darkness of the rupe (rock).  http://www.orvietounderground.it/

For an hour, the four of us learned the history of this ancient city while touring only two of the 1,200 caves that lie beneath the cobblestone streets and grand palazzi.  It was interesting, informative and a little spooky all at the same time.
